Small things your child does that give you “that” feeling?

Howdy fellow dad brethren, and the lurking moms too!

So much of the parenting saga does by incredibly quick and can be easy to not fully appreciate until after things have changed. In order to practice gratitude and live in the moment l I’ve been trying to focus on some of the smaller, mundane, aspects of interacting with my son that bring me joy and would love to hear from others about what their kids do that fill them with happiness?

For example, my son is now 16 months so is walking and interacting with his surroundings. That means everything eh he can pick up is going to be picked up. He will approach me with some household item like a back scratcher and look so pleased wit himself while handing it to me. That soft release of the item from him to me is something special. I don’t know why this specific thing hits my feels but I want to hold onto those feelings and remember them in times when parenting can feel overwhelming.

Hope y’all have a wonderful week with your little ones.
